Quotations for inspiration

I like...

  • "Comparison is a death knell to sibling harmony"Elizabeth Fishel

I think what it sais is true and everybody know it....comparison between people is a really bad thing.Everyone is unique and original,nobody it like other person althoght some people con be very similar,each person has his different cualities,way of thinkin and acting.Nobody must be compared with someone else because nobody is like other people.

  • "If you are doing your best, you will not have time to worry about failure." Robert Hillyer

It's a phrase really beautifull,it inspires you to give your best and not worry about the things that con go krong.

  • "Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional." Roger Crawford

I like it because I think that what it sais is really true,life is as all we know is challenging all the time from the death of someone we loved to having to wake up early every morning although you have sleeped at 5 am.But is your decision if you are defeated or not and it deppends in how you face all the challenges,if you decide you won't fight against the challenges or you will let them win you.

I don't like...

  • "Men and women, women and men. It will never work." Erica Jong

I don't think what she is saying is truth,women and men are a unit,a complement.All thinks that men need because they don't have women have it,and the other way round.

  • "Mama? Why did we just pass a sign that says, Do Not Pass?" Emma Fischer, age 7, riding in the car

I don't like it because it's a tipical demostration of the lack of conscience and justice that people have, now a days there are a great amount of trafic accidents and in lot of its people dies,and most of it are because of attitudes that people like this boy's mother have.And apart of the danger in wich her,her child and any other person are,she is giving the worst of the examples to her children.

Packaged Memories

My "packaged memorie" would be a lovely rug doll I made with my mom when I were only 5 years old.I remember I had have her the name of a flower I love!Mararita,she was blonde and pale and she had a dress printed with daisies. My mom and I made it one summer night I were bored because it was holiday and all my friends had travelled to different places or werw with their families.I loved my doll and I used to sleep with her everyday although I was allergic to it,it had a lot of sentimental value because I made with my mom and with our own hands.

When we found it on the attic last week,my mom told me that she knew that I loved Margarita but she had to do something because I couldn't continue sleeping wth her because of my allergy...

"Photo Prompts"

I've chosen the thrid photo:"Hide and seek at kinder".I decided to chose it bacause it remembers me one anecdote of kindergarden.
I was about 4 years old and I used to "study" at Casco Viejo's kindergarden,it was a lovely place with a lot of plants and colourful posters with photos about our activities .It was really a nice place,I enjoyed going to it everyday and I had made a lot of friends there my best friends were 3 brothers(1 boy Leandro and 2 girls Priscilla end Sayda)they were twins and I used to go almost every week to there house and they came house frequently too.We passed a lot of time together and we really enjoyed that time,we played all the afternoon with cars and dolls and barbies it was really fun.

One spring afternoon we were the 4 playing on there house in the garden and also in the galery, we were running, and suddenly Leandro run near to a bookcase that was in the galery and it fall with all the things that were in it.The hole galery was a mess!there were toys everywhere and the noise was really strong.We were all very scared and thought that Maria(the twin's mother)was going to punish us because of all the mess.So we decided to hide in one of the closet of the galery.Of course we weren't there for more than5 minutes because Maria started looking for us to see if we were ok.But I remember the grate chalenge the experience wasfor us to hide and to be shutted up so that Maria coulden't find us.

Now a days I can laught at it at how funny the situation is and how small we were to think that we must hide because Maria would punish us and never imagined that the bookcase could had killed us!

"The little prince"

The phrases I've chosen are the following:

  • "Here is the important part again: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

I've chosen this phrase because I like it very much and I've heard it mentioned several times by a lot of people,from classmates to importan psychologists.I think in such a small phrase there's a huge massage.If you analize it you can find that it refers to the fact that the important things of life aren't the superficial ones but the actitudes and the things that you think and feel,the "heart's" things.How many times have we focused in seperficial and material things thinking that we will be happy or we will find answers in them?May be always.

  • They never say to you, "What does his voice sound like? What games does he love best? Does he collect butterflies?" Instead, they demand "How old is he? How many brothers has he? How much does he weigh? How much money does his father make?" Only from these figures do they think they have learned anything about him."

This phrase is similar in meaning to the first one,it also talkes about the fact that superficial things are not the important ones in life.And the fact that it seems that never,anybody cares about the people's inside but only about what they look like and material and superficial things.Can you menttion any opportunity in wich you have asked about "important things"about another person triying to know him or her?I think it seems a difficult question to answer...

I think everybody must take some time to think a bit about the fact that we must do something in order with the huge confusion in wich we are living nowadays.In the world we live in today the moral values has been changed a lot and in some we replaced by the superficial and material things.We MUST change this and in consequence we will notice that everything is more beautiful and easier.

I hope you like it!see you
